Kiko Bun's music has such an infectious energy to it, made for summer trips to the park with the sun streaming like a strobe light through the trees swaying in the wind as you cradle a beer in one hand. Crafting sun-soaked reggae, Kiko's passion for the genre started when he was very young. "I was brought up with the sounds of dub and rocksteady during my youth as my Dad was a keen reggae head,"he expands.
His start in music came from a variety of places, from a more classical strand to a love of salsa and hip hop, "I found a love for the violin, which I studied right till grade eight as I fell in love with hip hop and eventually came back to reggae. I was a very musical child obsessed with rhythm and melody." It was the combination of these different styles and genres that helped Kiko to shape where he wanted his sound to be. "That may be funk, hip hop and maybe a touch of jazz at times," he elaborates. "I also like to combine the old original rocksteady raggedy sound with a more up to date sound."
